not sure what yogi ferrell is thinking going to sacramento. he'll have to compete w/ fox and mason at the PG spot and hield/bogdanovic/mclemore off the ball. Yes, the contract is worth more than the mavs deal, but in reality tthe change is minimal given the high California state taxes and high cost of living compared to having zero state income tax and much lower cost of living in texas. Not to mention being able to rejoin a team where you had a defined role and chemistry. Unless he somehow gets a chance to ball out in Sacramento, he fukked up his longer term money IMO.

EDIT: just calculated his taxes for a 3.1M per year average deal w/ Sac vs 2.65M per year on the Dal deal. If calculations are correct (using smartasset website), he will actually make LESS after-tax income on the Sac deal. ~ 1.64M after tax w/ Dal vs ~ 1.53 after tax w/ Sac, so definitely a dumb move to join Sac assuming he joined thinking that he was actually getting more money. His agent appears to be an idiot.

Here's the thing, once the first wave of FAs sign next summer... money will dry up fast. There'll be quality FAs who will not get as much in the same summer...

So much supply and not as much demand

Nah whenever a bunch of teams enter the offseason with lots of money it's the second tier players that eat. Outside of 5-6 teams, most of the NBA knows they won't be able to get the marquee free agents so they immediately target the second and third tier players so that they can still make a splash with free agent signings. Harris is just below all-star talent and would be a huge get for teams that never sign anybody so it wouldn't shock me if he got a big deal. He averaged 19 while with the Clippers and is only 27 so money will be there.
